Hey AND Juans, last August 30, 2014, the greatest
streetball player in the world – Phillip Champion a.k.a. HOT SAUCEplayed in
his first ever game in the Philippines, held at the Makati Coliseum. It featured local streetball icons such as
Lil Wizard, BallHustla, Bounce, and the rest of the Hype Streetball team
against the Open Run Select Team. A
couple of celebrity ballers were also present to hoop with the Hype team, musician/actor/dancer
Young JV and PBA player Eliud “Eloy” Poligrates of NLEX.

Hot Sauce doing what he does best - BREAKING ANKLES!

Prior to the actual game,
AND1 Philippines’ Flash was part of the organizing team, spearheaded by Hype
Streetball’s Nino Ventura and Angelo Moratillo.
Negotiations and discussions with Court Kingz’ Victor Martinez were
finalized by late July 2014, and with barely a full month to bring Hot Sauce
over to Manila for his historic visit, the local team were able to secure the
necessary permits and accommodations.

signing autographs and partook in photo ops with his adoring fans. The meet-and-greet session ended with a shot
of Hot Sauce, the Hype Streetball team, and all of his fans in the coliseum.

Quicker than a Hot Sauce cross-over dashed with a hint of The
Professor’s hesitation move, the AND1 Philippines blog just turned THREE. Without your unwavering support, the AND1 Ph
social media presence would not be effective.
To date, we have more than 5,000 Facebook fans, more than 185 Twitter
followers and more than 100K blogpage views!
Check out our very 1st blogpost by clicking HERE.

Aside from those articles, we also featured international ballers such
as Scalia
(Malaysia), Smokin’ Aces (USA) and AND1’s brand endorsers – Lance
Stephenson, Isaiah Canaan, and Jamaal Franklin. This space also was one of the main sources
of information about the latest shoe news both local and foreign. Big thanks to Relzbach Ventures Inc (the Bachmann
family and their tireless Sales and Marketing team) for the constant updates on
local shoe drops.

Stronger than ever are our international linkages
as well, as we’ve continued to ensure close ties with the AND1 brand teams and
distributors from across the world, and 2014 onwards promises more and more
surprises for AND1 fans and followers.
